Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.An Andy Warhol self-portrait from 1967 went on public display yesterday for the first time in 37 years.
The red-and-white screen print, which will be auctioned next week at Christie's in London, disappeared into private hands in 1974 and has not been exhibited since. The 6ft-high work is expected to fetch up to £5m.
A Warhol portrait of Mick Jagger is among other works in Wednesday's contemporary art sale as well as pieces by Jean-Michel Basquiat, the American former graffiti artist, and British artist Damien Hirst. The sale is expected to make about £50m.
